Which Engine Mounts

Ive noticed a creaking/knocking noise from take off.
Initially I thought it was suspension related, but ive noticed my car wheel hops rather than wheel spins.
Anyway - Im pretty sure its the engine mounts (on the right side) but im going to get both replaced. Ive looked at the UAS ones, but $150 does seem a bit much for a couple of pieces of rubber.
Can anyone recommend another brand or place to get them done?
Thanks

Yes, but $150 is very rich. Urethane is much much better, but it is also very cheap material.
If I could get hold of one, I could get as many made as you like for like $20 each!
But I need that first one to begin with.
It has crossed my mind to just buy one for that price, and then get a stack made, sell them for $50 each and pocket the difference. Win-win situation really.

I would expect it's your front or back mount bush that is gone not left or right.
And maybe you can find it from a wrecker? But from a Galant 6A12TT engine which should naturaly be stronger??

the 6a12tt engien mounts may be different, considering the gearbox is on the other side

u want the rubber mounts, so as to take the movement of the engine when it kicks and turns... if u don't have that give, the vibrations, noise and shock is transferred directly to the chassis and straight into the whole car... your whole car will vibrate like and be as noisy as a mofo... I had a urethane gearbox mount for a while and it was hell loud - I mean, annoyingly loud.. imagine what the noise of your engine will do !!!!!
This is from a friend of mine.
Thoughts peoples?????

Got some approximate prices for the mounts:
There are 3 main mounts.
1 on the drivers side - $169
2 on the passengers side - $125 for the front rail one
and $175 for the transmission mount.
Geniune Mitsu parts.
Not cheap...
